CNYEats A Taste of Utica: Hot Sauce for Chicken Wings

by Joanne on January 31, 2010

The most enjoyable experience when making these Taste of Utica recipes, is trying a recipe you would never think of making.

After mixing up this sauce and serving it with chicken wings and meatless chicken (vegetarian substitute), there was a loud voice that emanated from our dining room declaring “I LOVE chicken wing night”. That outburst was caused by a couple of things: 1. We NEVER have chicken wings and, 2. This recipe for sauce was outstanding!

On page 39 of our Taste of Utica cook book, the recipe for “Hot Sauce For Chicken Wings” has been posted by Ray Montana. “If you like hot sauce for chicken wings, try this.”

Since only the sauce recipe is posted and not how to cook the wings (or meatless wings), I have offered my own version of Oven Baked Chicken wings using Ray’s sauce.

Add the bread crumbs, sugar, garlic, pepper, and mustard to a large plastic bag and shake it up to mix.

Add the chicken wings to the bag and shake around (remember “Shake-n-Bake” ?? )

Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet and coat with the hot sauce. *Do the same with the meatless substitute if using.

Place in the oven for 50 minutes – chicken wings, and 25 minutes meatless tenders.

If you want a quick dipping sauce because you forgot to buy blue cheese dip , mix 1/2 cup Greek Style Yogurt with 1/3 cup grated cheese (such as sharp cheddar). You can mix cheeses as well. I mixed Romano Cheese with Extra sharp cheddar. Add 1 TBS Honey Mustard or honey mustard salad dressing. Mix it all up and serve with wings and celery sticks. The sweetness of the honey mustard helped mute the heat of the wings/”wingless”.

I am such a fan of buffalo sauce. Yum! Ryan, on the other hand, is a freak and doesn’t like it. Weirdo 😉 So I’m not sure I’ll be trying this, though it does look delicious. Is there anything better than Frank’s? I don’t think so.

I found an awesome deep fryer to use for my chicken wings.. I wasn’t able to find the Frank’s hot sauce when I was in Oregon, but the Walmart where I’m from carries it. I think you can also buy it in cases online.. it makes for an Awesome hot sauce! Can’t wait to make these again, my husband was through the roof when he came home to homemade wings. Yum.
